I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very36to earn my own pocket money and my parents37 interfered（干涉）with how I spent it, even when I was spending it38. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the39, I would become more mature and40about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many41 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they42a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around43. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 44 for me. In the end, my father won the 45 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 46through the country who could 47shelter and help if I needed them.
Three years later, my younger brother decided to 48a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not49 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a 50year working his way on trains and ships to 51 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably52for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start 53their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had 54jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future55, and so on.

C. proud D. honorable

41. A. American B. Japanese C. Chinese D. British
42. A. helped B. supported C. shared D. worried
43. A. Asia B. Africa C. Europe D. Oceania
44. A. journey B. experience C. chance D. possibility
45. A. argument B. game C. discussion D. plan
46. A. send out B. give out
C. carry out D. spread out
47. A. promise B. afford C. provide D. serve

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
You may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine, cheap airline tickets, books and, of course, computers and computer products. There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays. However, to many computer users, this use of electronic spare to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult.
Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “spammer.” A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information. Spammers find e-mail addresses from websites, newsgroups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other. Most spam is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products. Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for a fair price. These companies can offer their products at a cheaper price than you might find in a store. However, much of the spare on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide. They are only interested in stealing your money. When you answer their spare you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift. One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try every known trick to separate people from their money.
56. What does the underlined word “spare” in the first paragraph probably refer to?
A. Unwanted electronic information that reaches computer users.
B. Computer virus that causes computer communication difficulties.
C. Advertisements sent out by companies who want to sell their products.
D. Companies that send out millions of copies of the same sales information.
57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Companies who want to send a great deal of advertising are referred to as spammers.
B. Spammers are people who collect e-mail addresses from websites, newsgroups and “chat rooms”.
C. Either individuals or organizations can be regarded as spammers if they send out spam.
D. Spammers are people who receive spare on their computers.
58. Which is the possible suggestion from the writer concerning spam?
A. Spam is very helpful in providing you with useful information about product sales.
B. Spare helps companies to sell more of their products so it should be valued by people.
C. Spare is sent out by those who want to separate you from your money.
D. Look out for any spam that reaches your computer.

When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and jukeboxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like“Hey Porter”“Ring of Fire” , and“Folsom Prison Blue”.
Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear ——and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He has a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar(疤痕) on his cheek? It’s a bullet hole, of course !
In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is“Mr. Tough (violent)Guy”. He’s an ex-drug addict(上瘾者)who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.
In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that -- a story. True, years ago he had a “ drug habit” for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes he’d go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. There’s no Indian blood in his veins. He’s been a killer only in song. As for the“ bullet hole” , it’s an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).
People who know Johnny Cash well say he’s a “ gentle guy”, a “generous guy” -- anything but a “tough guy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the“Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the“ bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there’ s little the singer can do to change people’ s minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says.
59. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. opera lovers
B. country music fans
C. hard-rock fans
D. jazz music lovers
60. In truth, Johnny Cash＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. invented the“Indian grandmother”
B. used to kill rabbits for a living
C. had a bullet hole on his cheek
D. served a long prison sentence
61. In his private life, Johnny Cash is＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. much wilder than he looks
B. much smaller than he is on stage
C. much tougher than he is in public
D. much more gentle than most people suppose
62. The passage shows us that many people believe
A. only what they see.
B. what they are sure is true.

D. what they find interesting.

D. you won’ t get a free soft drink unless you spend more than 10 dollars on the meal

What’s your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.
We know what our vacation costs us.But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.
It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries.When the Massai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.
Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.
The result is responsible for tourism, or “ ethical tourism” “Ethical tourism” has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people’s lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.
But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.
What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can :
★Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.
★Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
★Avoid flaunting wealth.
★Ask before taking photographs of people.
They are not just part of the landscape!
Let’s enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
67. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects
B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior
C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun
D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think
68. Which of the following is not mentioned?
A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.
B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.
69. The underlined phrase“take heart”means____.
A. pay attentionB. take care
C. cheer up D. calm down
70. According to the passage, the writer thinks___.
A. tourism is not a promising industry
B. dream vacations should be spent abroad
C. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle
D. tourists should respect local customs and culture

Indonesia’s coral reefs (珊瑚礁)are in trouble. Coral mining,industrial pollution and poisonous agricultural run off all play a role in their destruction, but the fishermen have been the worst offenders. They not only bomb fish but also poison them with cyanide, an equally destructive practice. The fishermen are also among the biggest potential victims (受害者).Two thirds of Indonesia’ s 7,000 coastal villages are close to coral reefs and thus depend for their livelihood on the harvest of reef fish. The disappearing reefs are already leading to a dramatic decline in the productivity of coastal fisheries and to increasing fights among fishermen.
Indonesia’s reefs are vast —— they cover 51,000 square kilometers, surround 17,500 islands and stretch 3,500 kilometers ——but they are not infinite. Many foreign experts and Indonesians fear that the region’s entire marine environment could be seriously damaged if the reefs keep dying at their present rate. “The overall picture is depressing,”says Ian Dutton, Indonesian director of an environmental group Depressing, but not hopeless.
Despite the destruction, environmentalists have in recent years made significant progress in changing the hearts and minds of the fishermen. Working closely with local Indonesian authorities in North Sulawesi and less populated eastern Indonesia, where most of the country’ s reefs are located, they have succeeded in preventing destructive: fishing practices and coral mining from overwhelming the reefs.
Increasing numbers of fishermen are waking up to the threat and protecting the life -- sustaining coral before it’s too late. Nuhung, a 56-year-old fisherman, says, “I always knew blast fishing was harmful. Then I suddenly realized that by bombing the reefs I was destroying not only my own but my children’s future. ”
71. In the text the author_____.
A. presents us some facts and people’s opinions as well
B. shows that he’s worried about the situation, but still feels a little hopeful
C. says he’s delighted and meanwhile, depressed
D. disagrees with what’s being done and gives suggestions
72. The underlined word “infinite” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means_____.
A. incomplete B. short
C. unfit D. limitless
73. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. But for the fishermen’s protection, the reefs would disappear soon.
B. More and more fishermen have realized their mistakes.
C. Without the coral reefs, the fishermen would have nothing for their livelihood
D. Some practical measures have been taken to
stop the situation worsening.
74. The fishermen are named “worst offenders”because＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. they defend their rights of mining the coral reefs too eagerly
B. they wake up too late to realize the terrible situation
C. they use the fishing ways, which destroy the coral reefs
D. they pretend to follow the government’s rules

【答案与解析】
单项填空
21. A “他能记得每个事情的细节”，incident在此意为“比较不重要的小事件”； accident “（意外）事故”；affair强调“外交事件”；event强调“有重要意义的历史事件或重大事件”。
22. B句意“他们失业了，还要养活两个孩子，无法维持最起码的生活”。make it取得成功；make ends meet使收支相抵；make every effort尽力； make preparations做准备。根据句意，应选make ends meet。
23. D 根据句意“这场演出是为社会福利集资的”可知，只有选项D (welfare)有此含义。benefit收益、好处；profit盈利；interest利益、兴趣。三者均不符句意。
24. C otherwise要不然、否则；therefore所以；however无论如何、可是、仍然（用于既成事实时，表转折，常置于另一分句前）；anyway不管怎样、至少。根据句意及句子结构，应选anyway。
25. A 该句为too…to…句型，故排除C，D。根据句子结构，句子的主语the ice实际上就是选项不定式的逻辑宾语，故选项B中的it为重复意义，所以排除B，选A。
26. D 句意“我将去真正凉爽的地方”，where引导地点状语。
27. D两个名词都为不可数名词，在此表示泛指，故都不用冠词。

31. D题意为“和经理吵架之后，他决定辞去工作。”stop停止， 可以说stop working停止工作，但不能说stop the job。block 堵塞；loosen松弛，放松；quit停止，放弃，常指自愿放弃。
32. A leave out遗漏。题意为“在考虑解决问题的办法时，他把最重要的原因——天气给忘了。”
33. C题意为“当他们到达那里时，他们发现遭受风暴的人们需要食物和水。” in want of=in need of “需要”；be thirsty for是“渴望得到”；be short of是“缺少”。
34. C expectation期望；possibility可能性；development发展；outcome结果。根据句子意思，只有结果是未知的。
35. C根据句子结构，该题应选不定式用作过渡性词语作状语。句意为“那位导游辱骂了那位游客，更为糟糕的是，他拒绝道歉”。

One possible version:
Dear Stella,
I’m very glad to receive your letter, mentioning us Chinese middle school students’ English level. In fact, our listening and speaking skills have been improved greatly as well as reading and writing.
Firstly, our English teacher explains texts in English, and we are asked to speak nothing but English in English classes. Secondly, every English exam contains a listening test. As a result, we must listen to many tapes in order to get a good mark. And to improve our listening skill further, we often buy some English magazines with CD or MP3. Besides, we take part in the English Corner once a week. Now I believe you have had a new idea about our English level. Welcome to China again and see for yourself.
Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Ma Ming

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very36to earn my own pocket money and my parents37 interfered（干涉）with how I spent it, even when I was spending it38. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the39, I would become more mature and40about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many41 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they42a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around43. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 44 for me. In the end, my father won the 45 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 46through the country who could 47shelter and help if I needed them.
Three years later, my younger brother decided to 48a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not49 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a 50year working his way on trains and ships to 51 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably52for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start 53their children at a young age to do small things by themselves.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。

You may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine, cheap airline tickets, books and, of course, computers and computer products. There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays. However, to many computer users, this use of electronic spare to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult.
Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “spammer.” A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information. Spammers find e-mail addresses from websites, newsgroups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other. Most spam is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products. Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for a fair price. These companies can offer their products at a cheaper price than you might find in a store. However, much of the spare on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide. They are only interested in stealing your money. When you answer their spare you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift. One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try every known trick to separate people from their money.

When Johnny Cash sings, people listen. His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and jukeboxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country music fans everywhere know his big hits. They love songs like“Hey Porter”“Ring of Fire” , and“Folsom Prison Blue”.
Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear ——and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. He has a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar(疤痕) on his cheek? It’s a bullet hole, of course !
In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is“Mr. Tough (violent)Guy”. He’s an ex-drug addict(上瘾者)who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.
In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just that -- a story. True, years ago he had a “ drug habit” for a short time. He “popped” pills. But he never used heroin or other “hard” drugs. Sometimes he’d go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. There’s no Indian blood in his veins. He’s been a killer only in song. As for the“ bullet hole” , it’s an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst(囊肿).
People who know Johnny Cash well say he’s a “ gentle guy”, a “generous guy” -- anything but a “tough guy”. How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the“Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the“ bullet hole”, simply got started. Now there’ s little the singer can do to change people’ s minds. “They just want to believe it,” he says.
59. Johnny Cash is a favorite of many＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. opera lovers
B. country music fans
C. hard-rock fans
D. jazz music lovers
60. In truth, Johnny Cash＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. invented the“Indian grandmother”

61. In his private life, Johnny Cash is＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.

What’s your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.
We know what our vacation costs us.But do we know what it might cost someone else? It’s true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.
It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔) in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.
Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial(卑微的)jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy. Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries.When the Massai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.
Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them. Tourists, too, are putting on the pressure.
The result is responsible for tourism, or “ ethical tourism” “Ethical tourism” has people at its heart. New international agreements and codes of conduct can help protect the people’s lands, homes, economies and cultures. The beginnings are small, though, and the problems are complex.
But take heart. The good news is that everyone, including us, can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit. Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.
They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotels, restaurants and guide services. They can share profits fairly to help the local economy. And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.
What can tourists do? First, we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens. We can then make our choices and tell them why. And while we’re abroad, we can :
★Buy local foods and products, not imported ones.
★Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.
★Avoid flaunting wealth.
★Ask before taking photographs of people.
They are not just part of the landscape!
Let’s enjoy our vacation and make sure others do, too.
67. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Tourism Causes Bad Effects
B. Tourism Calls for Good Behavior
C. Vacations Bring a Lot of Fun
D. Vacations Cost More Than You Think
68. Which of the following is not mentioned?
A. Local people were well paid to leave their lands.
B. Tourists may stay in hotels opened by local people.
C. Local people are mainly provided with low-paying work.
D. Tourists could bargain with local people for a reasonable price.
69. The underlined phrase“take heart”means____.
A. pay attentionB. take care
C. cheer up D. calm down
70. According to the passage, the writer thinks___.
A. tourism is not a promising industry
B. dream vacations should be spent abroad
C. the problems caused by tourism are easy to settle
D. tourists should respect local customs and culture

Indonesia’s coral reefs (珊瑚礁)are in trouble. Coral mining,industrial pollution and poisonous agricultural run off all play a role in their destruction, but the fishermen have been the worst offenders. They not only bomb fish but also poison them with cyanide, an equally destructive practice. The fishermen are also among the biggest potential victims (受害者).Two thirds of Indonesia’ s 7,000 coastal villages are close to coral reefs and thus depend for their livelihood on the harvest of reef fish. The disappearing reefs are already leading to a dramatic decline in the productivity of coastal fisheries and to increasing fights among fishermen.
Indonesia’s reefs are vast —— they cover 51,000 square kilometers, surround 17,500 islands and stretch 3,500 kilometers ——but they are not infinite. Many foreign experts and Indonesians fear that the region’s entire marine environment could be seriously damaged if the reefs keep dying at their present rate. “The overall picture is depressing,”says Ian Dutton, Indonesian director of an environmental group Depressing, but not hopeless.
Despite the destruction, environmentalists have in recent years made significant progress in changing the hearts and minds of the fishermen. Working closely with local Indonesian authorities in North Sulawesi and less populated eastern Indonesia, where most of the country’ s reefs are located, they have succeeded in preventing destructive: fishing practices and coral mining from overwhelming the reefs.
Increasing numbers of fishermen are waking up to the threat and protecting the life -- sustaining coral before it’s too late. Nuhung, a 56-year-old fisherman, says, “I always knew blast fishing was harmful. Then I suddenly realized that by bombing the reefs I was destroying not only my own but my children’s future. ”
71. In the text the author_____.
A. presents us some facts and people’s opinions as well
B. shows that he’s worried about the situation, but still feels a little hopeful
C. says he’s delighted and meanwhile, depressed
D. disagrees with what’s being done and gives suggestions
72. The underlined word “infinite” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means_____.
A. incomplete B. short
C. unfit D. limitless
73. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A. But for the fishermen’s protection, the reefs would disappear soon.
B. More and more fishermen have realized their mistakes.
C. Without the coral reefs, the fishermen would have nothing for their livelihood
D. Some practical measures have been taken to
stop the situation worsening.
74. The fishermen are named “worst offenders”because＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿.
A. they defend their rights of mining the coral reefs too eagerly
B. they wake up too late to realize the terrible situation
C. they use the fishing ways, which destroy the coral reefs
D. they pretend to follow the government’s rules

【答案与解析】
单项填空
21. A “他能记得每个事情的细节”，incident在此意为“比较不重要的小事件”； accident “（意外）事故”；affair强调“外交事件”；event强调“有重要意义的历史事件或重大事件”。
22. B句意“他们失业了，还要养活两个孩子，无法维持最起码的生活”。make it取得成功；make ends meet使收支相抵；make every effort尽力； make preparations做准备。根据句意，应选make ends meet。
23. D 根据句意“这场演出是为社会福利集资的”可知，只有选项D (welfare)有此含义。benefit收益、好处；profit盈利；interest利益、兴趣。三者均不符句意。
24. C otherwise要不然、否则；therefore所以；however无论如何、可是、仍然（用于既成事实时，表转折，常置于另一分句前）；anyway不管怎样、至少。根据句意及句子结构，应选anyway。
25. A 该句为too…to…句型，故排除C，D。根据句子结构，句子的主语the ice实际上就是选项不定式的逻辑宾语，故选项B中的it为重复意义，所以排除B，选A。
26. D 句意“我将去真正凉爽的地方”，where引导地点状语。
27. D两个名词都为不可数名词，在此表示泛指，故都不用冠词。

30. B relief宽慰，放松； disappointed使失望；relax休闲，休息；recall回想起。

32. A leave out遗漏。题意为“在考虑解决问题的办法时，他把最重要的原因——天气给忘了。”
33. C题意为“当他们到达那里时，他们发现遭受风暴的人们需要食物和水。” in want of=in need of “需要”；be thirsty for是“渴望得到”；be short of是“缺少”。
34. C expectation期望；possibility可能性；development发展；outcome结果。根据句子意思，只有结果是未知的。
35. C根据句子结构，该题应选不定式用作过渡性词语作状语。句意为“那位导游辱骂了那位游客，更为糟糕的是，他拒绝道歉”。

One possible version:
Dear Stella,
I’m very glad to receive your letter, mentioning us Chinese middle school students’ English level. In fact, our listening and speaking skills have been improved greatly as well as reading and writing.
Firstly, our English teacher explains texts in English, and we are asked to speak nothing but English in English classes. Secondly, every English exam contains a listening test. As a result, we must listen to many tapes in order to get a good mark. And to improve our listening skill further, we often buy some English magazines with CD or MP3. Besides, we take part in the English Corner once a week. Now I believe you have had a new idea about our English level. Welcome to China again and see for yourself.
Best wishes to you!
Yours,
Ma Ming
